Dani Sushi Japanese & Korean Restaurant

Prob a 3.5 But fresh fish and lack of competition locally push it up to a 4. Also — I’m mildly snobby when it comes to sushi.
Good service. Friendly. Esl.
Very good fish. Sashimi great quality. Peripheral dishes are ok. Haven’t tried enough rolls to comment.
Prices average or slightly above.
Décor and facilities are lacking.
Tv/​speakers have Jpop on loop — obnoxiously intriguing in a cant stop watching car crash kinda way.
This is a gem of a little local sushi place — Dani has great potential beyond this restaurant that he and his wife opened just a yr ago!

The best part is the owners. Very nice. Love that it is local, and the menu items are good too. Fresh fish, clean location and fast service.

The the price the food is great. I went to have dinner with my family and the restaurant was just big enough.
I would not recommend going here for a large group of people as the restaurant is quite small. It seems that they do allow take out.

Dani sushi is a great spot for lunch and dinner. It is a clean restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. The service is efficient and the food exceeded my expectations.
I ordered the tofu teriyaki Bento box and it was delicious, very fresh ingredients. It is very filling as you get a lot of food, but it is worth it if you are very hungry.

In terms of pricing, this place is a little on the expensive side. There are a lot cheaper places where you can get sushi in Toronto, but if you’re a student going to Humber College, this is a close place to get a quick fix.
I like how their menu is pretty diverse, with both Japanese and Korean dishes and they even have ramen. It’s also nice how they give you both Korean side dishes AND the miso soup and salad. I love Korean side dishes so I was pretty happy with this. The glass noodles were delicious.
The service here was great. The waitress and chef were very hospitable and polite, and they were both very friendly and always wore a smile on their faces. The interior looks more like a home than a restaurant, but it was cozy nonetheless. Plus, they have a TV and play Kpop which is a huge plus for me!

Dinner with wife and 2 young children. Ordered mix of sushi, maki rolls and a rice bowl dish. Food is great and a constant stream of Korean house apps made the meal great. Our younger boy was really messy but the staff is very understanding and helpful. Definitely would return.

The other day I decided to step a little out of my comfort zone and try another sushi place for lunch. I drive by Dani Sushi a lot and read the great reviews on Unilocal so I thought I’d give it a go. I called and ordered the Spicy Roll Combo (spicy tuna, spicy salmon and spicy dynamite rolls). The lady that took my order was so nice and sweet over the phone so, right away, I got good vibes. When I got home and opened it, there was mayo poured all over it — kind of reminded me of «You Know Sushi» on The Queensway. Not to mention, there was only a teaspoon of wasabi and two little «packets» of soy sauce.
I can’t even provide a review on the freshness of the fish because the salty mayo took over everything. The spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls had avocado which was odd to me so I couldn’t differentiate the two. The spicy dynamite had an unbearably sweet sauce mixed with the salty mayo so, unfortunately, that’s all I could taste; it was NOT sushi in my opinion as sushi is supposed to be fresh and clean. Maybe it’s wrong of me to write this but I THINK the mayo may have been laced with MSG because I couldn’t get enough water after and I felt like I was blown up like a balloon.
I’m giving two stars because the service was exceptionally friendly and it was quite nice inside.

Cute little sushi place!
I got take out from Dani Sushi & the lady was so kind. I got an order of spicy salmon rolls and to my surprise I got a free miso soup. I also ordered spicy mayo on the side which most places charge but Dani sushi didn’t. The fish was really fresh and the rolls were delicious, I recommend you to check it out.

My new favourite spot in the hood. I’m so glad to have a great sushi spot nearby. The restaurant itself isn’t super fancy but it is really cute. I love how they play j-​pop and k-​pop music videos on a TV behind the sushi bar. The service is very friendly but since it is a very small business with only one lovely woman serving tables and doing take out, they have ingeniously installed call bells at each of the tables (like being on a plane) ring the bell to call the server over. The food was really great, the salmon sashimi tasted very fresh and the dragon roll was beautifully presented and delicious, I would definitely recommend it. My bestie had seafood ramen which she really enjoyed, it had a generous helping of shrimp, squid and shellfish. I’m gonna be a regular here.

Good addition to the neighbourhood. The portions are generous but a bit pricey. Very small interior — only a handful of tables, so it may be hard to get a seat during peak times. Food tasted great but a lot of items on their menu included something fried. They didn’t have as much sashimi as I would have liked. Sushi was very good but they didn’t have the Korean Dolsot Bibimbap I was hoping for. Service was good.

Had the kalbi beef a few times now and it’s still consistently the best kalbi around!

Finally, I decent sushi place in the west end. We have been struggling to find a decent place since moving out of the beach. We decided to try Dani one night and it was great. Super friendly staff and the food was delicious.

Definitely the best sushi place in Lakeshore’s west end. The place is neat, the price is good considering how well served the plates are and the staff is super polite.

It really is 3.5 stars
Our party of four patronized Dani for a Sunday dinner. Dani’s storefront is humble, and its décor is simple, clean and down to earth. We ordered a Dani’s Roll, a French Kiss Roll and a Sushi, Sashimi & Rolls Boat. The general consensus around the table was the portion was generous.
1) the Dani’s Roll was different in a good way. Firstly, it looked pretty. Secondly, it used tofu sheet instead of seaweed. The roll tasted sweet. There was a creamy sauce (I can’t recall the flavour of the sauce now) that added moisture to the roll. The rolls were rolled tight. This was the best item of the evening.
2) The French Roll was rolled tight. The ratio of the rice to protein was good. It was fresh, but the flavour was not memorable.
3) The boat was gigantic for $ 55. All the raw fish slices were fresh. For both the sushi and maki, the ratio of rice to fish was standard. The sashimi was average fresh and sliced thick, though it was not particularly creamy. While there was no wow factor in terms of quality, this item was a solid performer. As mentioned, the portion was big. The four of us could have dined on the boat alone and be full, and this would have made a cheap meal for four.
Dani is a solid neighbourhood restaurant. I like how down to earth it is while it crunches out rolls and sushi as good as Hina, another Japanese restaurant in Etobicoke. The prices of Hina and Dani are similar. Hina gives you better ambiance, and Dani gives you better value.

Finally a restaurant in Longbranch that is worth writing about!
I tried a variety of appetizers… all fresh, delicious and accompanied by favourable sauces that are not usual to the North American tastebuds… ok this is my way of guessing it is «authentic» however since I have never been to Korea… I am not sure ;)
This is the best thing to happen to Longbranch eat out option in a very longtime !
Hope everyone supports this clean, friendly and tasty restuarant… I want to dine here for years to come.
Cheers

Great little spot! Very pleased to see a little sushi spot open up in this stretch.
Saw this place when we were leaving 850 a few doors down one night and remembered it when a sushi craving hit.
It is definitely small… only 5 – 6 tables. Had some Japanese variety show on the TV, which was fun to watch. It was just the two of us, so hard to judge how it would be when busy. But service was great for just us.
Had the tuna sushi pizza to start after reading a recommendation here, and it was really good! Big serving and lots of hunks of tuna!
Patti had the WOW Roll, which was a bit spicy but she enjoyed it. I had the Green Dragon which was very pretty! It had it’s own avocado tail!
Can’t wait to come back!

A new neighborhood restaurant. Yey!
Service: good and quick. Friendly.
Atmosphere: Japanese food but with virgin 99.9 music. Small and comfortable. Only 5 tables.
Food: changing my review because this place has grown on me. I absolutely love it now. First time the food was ok but they were new. Now we take out from them on the regular. Very well priced. Love their sashimi and kalbi! So happy to have a good place nearby.

Finally had dinner here tonight, this restaurant only opened a couple of days ago.
I usually wait until I eat at a place a few times before writing my review but I was quite happy so decided to go for it anyway.
I ordered one of their vegetarian bentos, it was A LOT of good food :)
This (pictured) is the «Tofu teriyaki + veggie tempura + 3 piece Inari sushi + AAC roll + rice + soup, which came accompanied with two small plates of complimentary Korean appetizers (cold noodles and potatoes). The tofu was perfect and so creamy inside, I need to go back for more.
Everything was perfect, the owners are very sweet people, great experience all around.
